Journey Towards Greatness Chapter 31
Advertisement
Julian walks out of the hotel after checking out and directly heads towards the Celadon gym when he arrives there he is greeted by a group of ladies wearing a pink uniform, seeing Julian the girls were really excited because of his great looks
Girl 1 "Sir what is the purpose of your visit here?"
Julian "I am here to challenge the gym leader to a pokemon battle"
Girl 1 "Sir do you like perfume?"
Julian "Well I don't use any but I don't dislike them either, I think they smell nice"
Girl 1 "Any person who likes perfume is welcomed inside the gym, sir please wait near the battle arena I will go and call the gym leader for you"
Julian "works for me"
Julian walks inside and heads towards the battle arena when he reaches there he looks around to see that the battlefield is a simple one and there is nothing he can use for his advantage
Julian 'I will use Elekid in this battle even though he will have a type disadvantage it might help him simulate his evolution into Electabuzz then I will have to find an electirizer so that he can evolve further into Electivire'
While Julian is pondering how to battle and making a strategy, A lady walks in with blue hair, dark green eyes, and a blue bodycon style uniform she is, of course, the gym leader of Celadon gym Erika, when she looks at Julian she is surprised by how handsome Julian is but she gets back to her track as she has to perform her duty, she walks and stands across the battlefield and waits for Julian.
Seeing that Erika is already here Julian also walks towards the battlefield and takes his stance.
Julian "I am Julian and I am here to challenge you to a pokemon battle"
Erika "I gym leader of Celadon gym accept your challenge, But first the rules we both will use three pokemons, unlike me, you will be able to switch pokemons during our match"
Julian "I understand"
Erika "Then lets start, go Tangela"
Julian "Come on out Elekid"
Elekid comes out with arrogance on his face as he generates Electricity between his two horns
Erika "Aren't you a little overconfident by using an electric type pokemon against my grass type?"
Julian "It's not overconfidence, my Elekid just likes hard challenges"
Elekid also shows off his powers by generating more electricity between his horns after listening to Julian to intimidate his opponent but Tangela doesn't get fazed by it

Erika "We will see about that, Tangela use vine whip and grab on to Elekid"
Julian "Elekid dodge then use swift"
Elekid dodges the coming vine whips towards him and sends out multiple star-shaped projectiles towards Tangela
Erika "Tangela counter it with sludge bomb"
The swifts and sludge bomb colids together creating multiple explosion, Julian doesn't waste any time and continues
Julian "Elekid quick thundershock"
Elekid quickly sends out a zap of electricity towards Tangela hitting it, even though Tangela gets hurt it is not very effective, but there are still some after effects of thundershock as Tangela is covered by lite amount of electricity which activates every 15 seconds and zapping Tangela a little but it doesn't do a lot of damage.
Elekid "Even though that thundershock is strong it cannot cause critical damage to my Tangela"
Julian "The battle has just started let us continue, Elekid use swift again"
Erika "Counter it again using sludge bomb"
Julian "Use thundershock now"
Erika "You think you can pull off the same move again, Tangela quickly dodge then use vine whip and drag Elekid"
Tangela dodges the thundershock and uses vine whips and gets a hold of Elekid and slowly starts to drag Elekid towards it
Erika "What are you going to do now?"
She smiles and looks at Julian but she suddenly starts to frown seeing that Julian is smiling widely instead of getting worried, she then suddenly realizes but it was too late
Julian "Now Elekid shock wave"
Erika "Quick Tangela let go of Elekid"
But Elekid doesn't give a chance to Tangela and holds the vine whip with his hands and suddenly sends out shock wave which at the same time hits Tangela when the after-effects of the previous thundershock flare again but this time it becomes more powerful because of the shock wave simulating it causing Tangela to suffer a massive amount of shock immediately making it unable to battle.
Erika "You were actually waiting for that after effect to flare up again so you can simulate it to make it more powerful"
Julian "Well you are right but you figgered it out a little too late"
Erika "I have to admit that your Elekid is indeed strong"
Julian "Elekid, you did great"
Elekid, hearing Julian prase him arrogantly puffs his chest and bangs it with one of his arms then suddenly he starts to glow
Julian 'Who would have thought that just praising him a little would have simulated the evolution, but it a good thing'

Julian couldn't do anything but shake his head seeing that it only took single praise to evolve his Elekid when Elekid finally stopped glowing he was bigger stronger and had gained a little more arrogance he was a little bigger than a normal Electabuzz standing 1.3 meters tall.
Julian 'Looks like my special training and care can turn any pokemon stronger and bigger haha, System display Eletabuzz's stats'

___________________
Julian 'Looks like Shock Wave and Thundershock has been upgraded and he even learned two new move Brick Break and Iron Tail'
Seeing Julian's Elekid evolve into Electabuzz Erika becomes a little nervous as she already thought that Elekid was powerful but now he looks more powerful.
Erika "Go Weepinbell"
Julian "Eletabuzz lets continue"
Erika "Weepinbell use razor leaf"
Julian "Counter it with Thunderbolt"
Electabuzz sends out a large amount of electricity towards the upcoming razor leaves and burns it completely
Erika "Weepinbell spread sleeping power all over the battlefield"
Weepinbell spreads the sleeping power all over the battlefield and waits for Electabuzz to fall asleep but her surprise Erika sees that Eletabuzz is not affected by the sleeping powder
Erika "But how?"
Erika cannot believe one of her very effective moves didn't work
Julian "Electabuzz has an ability called vital spirit which prevents it from falling asleep"
Erika doesn't know what to do because of she tries to come in contact with Electabuzz the same fate will fall upon Weepinbell as happened to Tangela, Julian also didn't give any time for her to come up with a new strategy as it will simply extend the battle which he didn't like
Julian "Electabuzz use quick attack"
Erika who was still thinking of a way to fight back didn't get a chance to command Weepinbell as it was too late as Electabuzz sent Weepinbell flying back
Julian "Now finish it off with Thunderbolt"
While Weepinbell was still in the air it was again attacked by a huge thunderbolt causing it to faint.
Erika called back her Weepinbell to its Pokeball and was now was ready to send out her third and final pokemon.
Erika "Go Gloom"
Julian 'this is going to be troublesome if Electabuzz smells the stench that comes out of it pistils'
Julian "Electabuzz keep your distance from gloom"
Erika didn't expect Julian had already warned his pokemon about the danger but she should have expected that as Julian from the beginning was fighting using his brain, her only chance is to win is to get Gloom near Electabuzz.
Erika "Gloom use acid"
Julian "Dodge"
Electabuzz dodges the coming acid as it falls on the ground causing the ground to bubble and rot.
Julian 'These acid attacks are really potent and can put most of the pokemon in huge trouble'
Erika "Gloom now get near Electabuzz while its distracted"
Julian "Electabuzz always has his attention on his opponent even if he is not looking, he is never distracted, Electabuzz send it back using swift"
Gloom gets hit by multiple swift and sends it rolling back
Julian "Let's finish this, use thunderbolt"
Electabuzz sends a powerful Thunderbolt at Gloom who is still on the ground.
Erika "Gloom try to dodge"
But its no use as the thunderbolt already reached gloom and electrocutes it causing it to faint, Julian had easily won the battle after Elekid evolving and from there it was really a one-sided battle.
Erika sends Gloom back and gives Julian the Rainbow Badge, Julian takes the badge and walks out of the gym.
Julian 'I already have seven badges but the eighth badge will be very difficult as the last badge is in Veridian city and Giovanni being the leader I have to defeat Mewtwo, its good that I have Gengar and Mewtwo is still severally lacking as its still forcefully controlled by the machine attached to it limiting it battle potential, lets forget about it now, three months have passed since I started my journey and it will come to a finish soon then another will begin soon after, I will travel everywhere in this world and if possible even outside this planet but for that there is still a long time'

Raak
James was in his 30's when his death came suddenly, not that he minded much, as life was seeming to drag on. His story, however, did not end with his death. As a point of fact, it had only just begun. This will be my first work, so please by all means comment with any errors I may have made. Suggestions for the story (which may or may not be used). This is a litrpg and a bit of a power fantasy, so be warned the protagonist will be pretty OP eventually.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Dimensions intersection
The 100 years war.Countless gods, devils, heavenly demons, dragons, beast emperors and many more supreme beings fought for supremacy.Due to the war space cracks plagued the dimensions causing them to intersect almost making them destroy each other.After countless efforts the dimensions finally stabilized making a whole new unique dimension.Note: some of you may not like the reincarnation tag so this is to explain some details coming in the plot (NO SPOILERS).the mc will come from earth but unlike lots of novels it will play a major role in his power and character development, i am always open for criticismIt will all be cleared up in the future with lots of fun. IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!: this was supposed to be surprise but as i went more deeply through the rules (in wuxiaworld) i found it will really be hard to be added to the front page, i like when i start something that i must finish it in the most efficient and best way possible with no regrets, so i added this, don't worry it won't be a spoiler, i am just giving a hint, as you already know from the title this novel features dimensions, and since this novel is made on wuxiaworld it must have something related to it, so figure it out a novel about dimensions and wuxiaworld which is full of fantasy novels. I hope you can support me in wuxiaworld so i could reach the main page, if you genuinely like the novel just look it up in original novels in wuxiaworld fourms and click it just for a view, thank you for the support. Thank you for reading.

His Innocent Fox... BoyXBoy
Little snippet of the story below... Hope you enjoy!××Willowed_Wisp××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××My breath hitches in my throat, as deep crimson eyes bore into mine through the inky, yet comforting, darkness, and a hand, pale and large compared to my own tiny little paw, begins to reach out for me. A tiny chirp of fear leaves my lips, as I scoot further back until my back hits the cold wall, and flatten my ears against my head." Come on Angel... We won't hurt you." The man soothes, his already thick voice, due to his sexy British accent, sounding thicker due to his long, ivory fangs that gleam silver in the Moonlight, as he tries to coax me out from under the bed.I shake my head violently, my nose twitching wildly, as my fluffy red tail curls around my dark brown paws, and I lower my head until my chin bangs lightly against the wooden floor. I realize, with a jolt of fear, that the Vampire is gone! Leaving Robyn and myself alone. My glowing amber eyes widen, as his hand suddenly whips out from my left, and closes around the back of my neck.I look to Robyn for help, my claws scraping across the floor, creating scratches in the polished wood, only to see the spot where he once was empty. I give a series of terrified yelps, as the man gently pulls me out by the scruff of the neck, and holds me up in front of him.My tiny, dark brown paws churn wildly in the air, my ears flat, and my tail waving around wildly, as he looks me up and down, and then pulls me into his muscular chest... Wrapping a small blanket around my wriggling body to calm me down.I begin to chirp and yelp softly, calling out to Robyn, as the man throws the corner of the blanket over my face, and everything goes black. One question rings in my head as I am carried from our home...××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××What is going to happen to us?
